2018-08-04 02:22:47 Tom Reynolds summary Please generate version 4 UUIDs, not version 1 Please generate version 4 block device UUIDs, not version 1
2018-08-04 02:24:27 Tom Reynolds description Using the 18.04.1 server-live installer with manual partitioning, the system ends up with an fstab like this: UUID=d94e7ea3-9785-11e8-b625-080027681a6b / ext4 defaults 0 0 UUID=d94e7ea2-9785-11e8-b625-080027681a6b /boot ext4 defaults 0 0 /swap.img none swap sw 0 0 As is obvious, the UUIDs generated here are very similar, which may abet user errors. The classic Ubuntu server installer generates version 4 UUIDs which provide much more variance. This may be visualized by using, for example, the bulk UUID generators version 1 and 4 at https://www.uuidonline.net/ Using the 18.04.1 server-live installer with manual partitioning, the installed system ends up with an fstab like this: UUID=d94e7ea3-9785-11e8-b625-080027681a6b / ext4 defaults 0 0 UUID=d94e7ea2-9785-11e8-b625-080027681a6b /boot ext4 defaults 0 0 /swap.img none swap sw 0 0 The block device UUIDs generated here are very similar, which may abet user errors.
